On The Real Housewives of Potomac, there have been plenty of peculiar conflicts between the stars, but no one could see Candiace Dillard Bassett and Mia Thornton's feud over each other's feet coming. Mia is the newest addition to the RHOP cast and she has already secured her spot in an unforgettable squabble with reality TV veteran Candiace. From the impetus for their bad blood to their shady feet comments, this is everything there is to know about why Mia and Candiace are going toe-to-toe.
Mia is The Real Housewives of Potomac season 6's new star, and for the most part, she has been successful in evading major drama with the original castmates. Although she came in hot and irritated Dr. Wendy Osefo, Gizelle Bryant, and Robyn Dixon within the first handful of episodes, Mia was able to mend fences shortly after their fallout. Unfortunately, Candiace is not known for being as peaceful as her co-stars. She is in unending feuds with several of her fellow housewives, and the clashes have taken drastic turns. From throwing a knife at Ashley Darby to filing a lawsuit against Monique Samuels, Candiace has demonstrated that she's not the Potomac housewife to pick a fight with. Despite Candiace's intimidating resume, Mia isn't backing down in her foot fight with Candiace.
Fans first got a taste of Mia and Candiace's impending feud in The Real Housewives of Potomac season 6 trailer, which featured a glimpse of the sparring housewives throwing salad at one another. In a recent episode, Mia initiated drama by asking Candiace's mother about her husband Chris Bassett's income. On and off of the show, Mia and Candiace have been taking jabs at one another, and recently, the topic of feet has been central to the Potomac stars' stalemate. On Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Candiace was asked if she regretted "constantly bringing up Mia's big feet this season?" Candiace swiftly responded, "No. They are big feet!" Candiace has been called out for body shaming, specifically for calling new mother-of-two Ashley "wide-bodied" and mocking her forehead. Candiace's shade at Mia's "big" feet is only the reality star's latest sketchy comment about her co-stars' looks.
After seeing Candiace (who recently blasted a journalist) on Watch What Happens Live, Mia responded to Candiace's foot criticism. On September 20, Mia threw shade right back at Candiace on IG. Mia wrote, "The nerve of some people. I’ll take my #bigfeet over #crustyfeet anyday... Anything else ya wanna keep talking about? #tryme #rhop." Mia accompanied the caption with a few pictures of Candiace's feet she clearly finds to be "crusty." Mia clarified that their feud is far from over. Even former The Real Housewives of Potomac star Monique took part in the shady moment, as she added a laughing emoji that went on to garner over 1,600 likes. Monique also commented that Mia's "savage for this and I'm not mad."
Candiace has been involved in some epic feuds during her time on The Real Housewives of Potomac, but her foot-oriented squabble with Mia is in a league of its own. From big feet to crusty feet, both new RHOP housewife Mia and Candiace delivered low blows. While the foot comments might come off as silly, the insults indicate that another memorable feud is brewing on The Real Housewives of Potomac.
